Odin Space

Odin Space develops and deploys Nano Sensors, space-based acoustic impact detectors that characterize sub-centimeter orbital debris invisible to ground-based tracking systems. Each sensor functions as an orbital black box, recording impact time, location, object size, velocity, and trajectory. The sensors are integrated as hosted payloads onto third-party satellites. Odin Space successfully demonstrated its first sensor in June 2023 aboard a D-Orbit orbital transfer vehicle launched via SpaceX Transporter-8. The company is developing a miniaturized commercial sensor version for orbital deployment, with the first commercial launch expected in 2026.

Odin Space distributes sensors across multiple host spacecraft to map debris environments in low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit. Its cloud-based data platform translates sensor observations into real-time collision risk assessments and debris environment analytics for satellite operators and orbital service providers. The company partners with international insurers including Lloyd's of London and Arkisys to develop satellite collision insurance products that use verified impact data to reduce premium costs. Odin Space is headquartered in London with facilities at Space Park Leicester in the United Kingdom and operates as a private company founded in 2020.
